Hi all🖤

If you ask a few individuals around you about long-distance relationships right now, they will tell you that they are the worst thing someone could ever experience. But not everything is as it seems. Long distance relationships, like many other things, have advantages and disadvantages.

As an optimist, I'll begin with the benefits of long-distance relationships:

You miss your lover - living together couples frequently have one issue. They don't have time to miss one other since they rarely have time alone. They are always seeing each other, which may be annoying at times. In a long-distance relationship, you miss your partner's fragrance, smile, touch, and other characteristics.

You get alone time - despite popular opinion, my time is essential. In a relationship as well as outside of it. You have time to relax, do activities you enjoy, go out with friends, spend time with family, study, or simply watch a movie or TV show you enjoy.

It's a never-ending honeymoon - those in long-distance relationships understand what I mean. While spending time alone is crucial, the opportunity to meet your mate is a constant honeymoon. 

However, there are several disadvantages to having a long-distance relationship:

Isn't distance ironic? However, distance is your worst enemy. You don't see your spouse as frequently as you would want, which can be irritating at times. Especially when you hear your buddies have a date on Friday and you know the only date you have is with your laptop. Also, you may believe he can't be there for you, especially during difficult times in your relationship, because you just see his face and he can't hold you.

Because we don't spend enough time on our phones, a long-distance relationship primarily relies on technology. You speak with your spouse throughout the day via Skype, Facebook, or SMS.

Things can get heated - if you are a jealous person, you can go insane in a long-distance relationship. Mostly because you want to keep tabs on your partner and can't if he's thousands of miles away.
Long-distance relationships, contrary to popular belief, may work. They only work if both couples are dedicated and determined to make it work. Even face-to-face relationships have difficulties from time to time, let alone long-distance ones. However, if you are willing to work together, compromise, and accept that this scenario will not endure forever, your relationship will survive. To be honest, it's always pleasant to know there will be someone waiting for you when you get to the train station.
